For example, the percentage in the photo is 20% with 100 comparisons. This means that 20 out of 100 people have chosen your photo as the best. Another example, the percentage in a photo shows a figure of 56% with 200 comparisons. This means that 56% of people (or 112 people) chose your photo when compared with 200 other works in the current nomination.

count of comparisons - how many times has your photo been compared with other photos on a volunteer vote within your nomination (the more comparisons, the more accurate the indicators will be).Percent - how often did you choose yours in comparison with other photos (the higher the percentage, the better the quality of your work).Scale under the photo - key indicator which is worth being guided by. The closer the pointer to the blue part of the scale, the higher your chances of successful participation in the prize.

If you have a upgrade account for the current awards, then you see two ratings. Evaluation of ordinary viewers, and evaluation of professionals (photographers who were moderated at 35photo.pr ). The counting principle is exactly the same, only divided into 2 types. If you have a regular account, you can see one general assessment regardless of the status of the voter.

Percentage TOP - relative value in which your level is reflected relative to all other works. To understand the absolute value, you can use the formula:

Why can the number of comparisons grow?

If you vote not thoughtfully and are often mistaken, then the number of new comparisons will increase.

When voting in such control points is wrong, the system will add to you the number of comparisons to increase the statistics of your opinion and the statistics of the passage of other control points.

If you vote thoughtfully and honestly, the required number of comparisons to increase the limit will decrease. If you chase the speed and vote on the machine, then somewhere you go wrong ;)

By the way, the time spent on the analysis of photos does not matter (there is such an opinion).

Why is all this necessary? Firstly, it improves the quality of voting. Secondly, such statistics track behavioral actions. Thirdly, all this together very quickly reveals bots and people who are trying to influence the vote (drown everyone except friends or create accounts and drown everyone except their photos).

One of the most common reasons is to create multiple accounts. You could create a new account using a different email. If you are not connected to an account 35AWARDS account the social network through which you are trying to enter, it is possible to create a new account.

To pass the moderation necessary to upload 10 photos to test reactions to 35photo.ru site. To do this, you need to go under your account (using the login 2016.35awards.com). Next, click on the orange button at the top right corner of the screen and upload 10 photos. Time to test is not defined and depends on the presence of the editors on the site.

If you have been moderated to 35photo.ru site, then you can upload 5 photos. All other - 2 photos. But you can easily compensate for this difference by inviting your friend to participate, then you and your friend limit will be increased.

If you have been on site 35photo.ru Send moderation then you can upload 5 photos. All other - 2 photos. But you can easily compensate for this difference by inviting your friend to participate then you limit will be increased.

At the end of the photo award, works of the winners and participants of the 3rd stage are used for publications in the annual photo catalog, for printing works at exhibitions, in magazines of our partners, etc. As well as to confirm the authorship of the participants. Works of low resolution can not be used for printing, so this is a prerequisite.

Please refer to the detailed description of the problem by mail office@35photo.ru. In order for the answer to be as quick and useful as possible, describe the problem in more detail, attach screenshots.

According to the rules of the contest, the works that are rated in the top 100 in all nominations must download the work in the original resolution. If your work entered the top 100, but you can not provide the original, then the work will also be taken into account in the rating, but after the works included in the top 100, they uploaded files of high resolution.

Only on a separate request from the organizers. This may be necessary if the organizers could not establish the authorship of the photo, the shooting time questions, etc. In this case, you will be contacted through the contacts that you left at registration, post office, social. network.

The file is JPG, Adobe RGB, maximum 50MB. Resolution - the original resolution of the file (maximum) (minimum resolution: 3000x3000, for the nomination "mobile photo": 2000x2000). The downloaded file should look exactly like the photo uploaded to the contest (already with processing). It is advisable to save EXIF from the file.

Stop comparing is possible in a few cases: incorrect nomination, the presence of a frame or a copyright or a low percentage comparisons. More often it is connected with a low percentage of comparing the results of the voting of the volunteer. Stops automatically. In any case, after stopping we recommend that you try to upload another job.

We tested a variety of ways to assess the photos and came to the conclusion that it is in such a way to get the most objective results. Also, we are constantly analyzing the intermediate results of voting results in the case, if we see that the current method of assessment we get wrong results, make additional adjustments.

If your page, you'll see a notice of violation and it is true, you must remove the photos and upload new without breaking. If you do not agree with the comments, please click on the appropriate button and the message will disappear.

So your photos comply with the rules of the contest. But all the same we recommend to check your photos on compliance with the rules. The photos should not be copyright, unauthorized inscriptions, frames and pictures are to be made in 2015 or 2016.

No. All voting is anonymous, we also do not accept photos from copyrights. The jury sees only photographs, there are no other identification signs. You can talk to any member of the jury to find out how the vote was held.

After voting at the first and second stage, photos are sorted by rating. The works with the maximum number of votes are transferred to the next stage in the automatic mode. Photos that have not passed on automatically are viewed by the jury members, and can be passed by them into the next stage in manual mode. This is done so that the strong and complex work, which happened to be overboard, could continue the struggle.

A huge number of works are uploaded to the competition. And even several members of the jury are not able to view even a small part of them and not miss the excellent work. Therefore, the system is constructed in such a way that the selection criteria are tightened at each stage of voting. The main jury is connected only at the third stage, when you can thinkfully approach a small number of finished works and already choose the best ones.

The percentage of the transition is not always 50% and depends on several factors and is formed after the voting ends at the stage. The
First. The percentage of the transfer is affected by the nomination. For example, in the nomination "mobile photography" the percentage of the transition can be 60-65%. This is due to the fact that this nomination is loaded with a huge number of works, since anyone can participate in it who has a phone. The percentage of works of poor quality is higher than in other categories, and the percentage of comparison for strong and medium jobs is often higher, as they compete with weak work. Therefore, the percentage of the transition is specially overestimated.
The second factor that affects the percentage of the transition is the voting activity. Some nominations cause greater interest among the voters than others. We know that works in nominations landscape, portrait and nude receive more votes than the nomination "mobile photography" for example. Hence, the percentage of the transition may be less than 50%, since we know that the work will gain enough votes for the rating.

Every day we receive millions of votes, and learned how to identify the voices of people who vote incorrectly or deliberately underreporting photos of other participants. For example, when comparing pairs for a long time, the voter gives preference to weak work, thereby lowering strong photos in the rating. When identifying people voting in this way, we subtract their votes from the vote and the rating is recalculated. This is done at the end of each stage. We specifically do not disclose the detection algorithm, that the voters could not influence the algorithm of its operation.

Upload series

New! Series uploading!

More recently, we have made an improvement and now we have a new feature - "Series uploading." Even now, you can download from 3 to 10 photos in the series, united by a common idea. Voting for the series will take place separately from other series in their nominations. vote principle remains the same as for single photos. At the moment, series uploading is available for nominations: "Children's Photography", "Wild Animals", "Staged Photography" and "Reportage photo". This feature is available for any improved account.
